Recycled gold is having a moment.
The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), the world’s largest gold trading market, reports that more than half of its gold comes from recycled sources. Brands like Prada and Pandora now boast 100 per cent recycled gold in their products, a pivot Pandora says shrinks its carbon footprint by more than 99 per cent. And last month, the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), the industry’s largest association, released guidelines that will set the norm on how to define and verify recycled gold as more brands show interest.
